Echoing Mal's comments, a solution whereby both Le Mans and the LMS could benefit from having both full live coverage on a dedicated channel, satisfying its niche audience (let's be realistic!) and then a more broad based channel having a well produced highlights show, or, in the case of the 24 Hours, some plum bits like the first and last hours, would be ideal.

Thinking about it, it's probably worth thinking about how packed the grandstands are at Le Mans during various periods of the day - they could profit from being shown on mainstream channels - the small hours of the morning are probably more times for the die-hard enthusiast.

I'd always envisaged a combination of Motors and domestic TV being the way of satisfying this, but equally maybe some form of Eurosport coverage might work.
